Why must we always have man’s rules and women’s rules? Here are some relationship rules:

PLEASE NOTE. THESE ARE ALL NUMBERED #1 ON PURPOSE!

1. PEOPLE ARE NOT MIND READERS.
1. INTIMACY IS IMPORTANT. YOU DON’T NEED SEX FOR INTIMACY, BUT IT IS NICE.
1. LEARN TO WORK THE TOILET SEAT. YOU’RE A BIG PERSON. IF IT’S UP, PUT IT DOWN.
1. CRYING IS BLACKMAIL.
1. SAYING WHAT YOU THINK I WANT TO HEAR ONLY CAUSES MORE ISSUES, JUST BE HONEST.
1. YOU KNOW THAT PERSON YOU WHERE WHEN WE STARTED DATING AND ALL THOSE THINGS YOU DID FOR ME? DON’T STOP BEING THAT PERSON OR DOING THOSE THINGS DURING THE RELATIONSHIP. WE STARTED DATING YOU FOR A REASON, NOT FOR YOU TO GIVE UP ONCE WE WERE TOGETHER.
1. IF YOU ARE DONE WITH ME OR THE RELATIONSHIP, THEN LEAVE. WE WOULD RATHER HEAR THE TRUTH THAN BE CHEATED ON.
1. ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT. LET US BE CLEAR ON THIS ONE:
SUBTLE HINTS DO NOT WORK!
STRONG HINTS DO NOT WORK!
OBVIOUS HINTS DO NOT WORK!
JUST SAY IT!
1. YES AND NO ARE PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE ANSWERS TO ALMOST EVERY QUESTION.
1.. COME TO US WITH A PROBLEM ONLY IF YOU WANT HELP SOLVING IT.
1. ANYTHING WE SAID 6 MONTHS AGO IS INADMISSIBLE IN AN ARGUMENT. IN FACT, ALL COMMENTS BECOME NULL AND VOID AFTER 7 DAYS.
1. IF YOU THINK YOU’RE FAT, YOU PROBABLY ARE. DON’T ASK US.
1. IF SOMETHING WE SAID CAN BE INTERPRETED TWO WAYS AND ONE OF THE WAYS MAKES YOU SAD OR ANGRY, WE MEANT THE OTHER ONE.
1. YOU CAN EITHER ASK US TO DO SOMETHING OR TELL US HOW YOU WANT IT DONE. NOT BOTH.
IF YOU ALREADY KNOW BEST HOW TO DO IT, JUST DO IT YOURSELF.
1. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, PLEASE SAY WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO SAY DURING COMMERCIALS.
1. CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS DID NOT NEED DIRECTIONS AND NEITHER DO WE…
1. IF YOU WOULDN’T WANT TO HEAR ME SAY IT TO YOU, THEN DON’T SAY IT TO ME.
1. DON’T USE SEX AS A WEAPON, WITHHOLDING SEX DOES NOT FIX ANYTHING BUT CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS.
1. TOO MUCH SEX AND NO SEX ARE BOTH ISSUES, FIGURE OUT WHERE IN THE MIDDLE YOU BOTH FIT.
1. IF WE ASK WHAT IS WRONG AND YOU SAY ‘NOTHING,’ WE WILL ACT LIKE NOTHING’S WRONG. WE KNOW YOU ARE LYING, BUT IT IS JUST NOT WORTH THE HASSLE.
1. IF YOU ASK A QUESTION YOU DON’T WANT AN ANSWER TO, EXPECT AN ANSWER YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR..
1. WHEN WE HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE, ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING YOU WEAR IS FINE…REALLY.
1.. DON’T ASK US WHAT WE’RE THINKING ABOUT BECAUSE IT WON’T BE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO HEAR ANYWAY.
1. YOU HAVE ENOUGH CLOTHES, TOOLS, CARS, MOTORCYCLES, SHOES, ETC.
1. I AM IN SHAPE. ROUND IS A SHAPE!
1.. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS. YES, I KNOW, I HAVE TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH TONIGHT.. BUT WHAT IS DIFFERENT?
1. COMPROMISE, COMPROMISE, COMPROMISE… DO THINGS THE OTHER PERSON LIKES EVEN IF YOU DON’T JUST TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH THE OTHER PERSON.
1. COMMUNICATION IS KEY, TALK ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON.

This is my work plant. I know that it is a Succulent. and I am sure it is a Echeveria of some type. I have heard maybe a multicaulis, but I am not sure. It grows off this big stalk and the little branches are sooo cool. Does anyone have any idea what type of plant this really is?

Love is not something you say, it is something you live. Love is making a decision that is difficult and painful for you because it is better for the one you love. Love is trusting someone when others, or yourself, or logic or whatever insists otherwise.
